Methodology
How the index was built
This study by the research team at Andrew Pickett Law ranks Florida counties by motorcyclist fatalities per 10,000 residents, drawing on fatal crash records from 2015 to 2024 to identify where riders face the greatest risk.
To maintain statistical significance and control for volatile year-over-year fluctuations in smaller communities, counties with fewer than 50 total raw fatalities over the 10-year period were removed from the final ranking.
